Why doesn’t it have Maelstrom missions?

Damnation level is in the auric board. Fatshark paid a professional enshittificator to enshittify the board (and i havent played the game since) so i dont remember where the button is now so you’ll have to just use your own eyes and look around the mission board screen to find the “auric” button.

Damnation and auric are different difficulty levels.

I’ve been wondering the same thing ever since the mission board rework, even made my own feedback post about it a few months ago. Really hope they add a maelstrom for damnation so i can play it with friends, heresy is too easy and aurics can be too hard for my friends, why isnt there an option inbetween? doesnt make any sense to me

No they’re not… The only difference between auric damnation and normal damnation are the modifiers. And maelstrom difference from normal missions are also the modifiers.

Yeah the resistance score is always higher in auric along with less wave delay for larger numbers of hordes and specials and higher ambient spawning. Damnation is the same durability enemies, but less intensity overall.
